Looks correct to me.

Just, be prepared for things to randomly not work a few times a day.

As a developer, interacting with their APIs can be quite painful.... as, things are frequently moving around, or temporarily unavailable.

If you are using longhorn in RWO mode, you shouldn't have any issues as it passes block storage directly to the pod, via iscsi. No file/nfs storage involved.

Longhorn storage, ceph block, or other distribed BLOCK storage can help assist this issue.

The ups comes into play when you suddenly don't have mains.

Hence, the name UPS, ie uninteruptable power supply.

I built a homemade one. 2.4kwh of capacity.

Should be good for a few decades easily.

Wouldn't call it cheap. But, it will be around for 15 or 20 years.

Vpn.

Openvpn or wireguard.

I don't know about dedup, but, freshrss is pretty good for a self hosted solution.

I would recommend cloudflare.

I'll vouch for cloud flare. Its hands down my favorite registrar I have used.

The ABSOLUTE, HANDS DOWN worst one you can possibly ever pick, would be GoDaddy. Don't. Just Don't. Don't even search for a domain there.... They have been caught sniping up domains after you search for them.. Absolute scum.

Yup, I have been using cloudflare for a few years now, and, no complaints at all. Completely painless.

/shrugs. Oh well.

Can't if you wanted to, they have registrations closed.

Reason #1,201 that creating https://lemmyonline.com was a fantastic idea.

Sheesh, fuck HP.

Got a brand new printer from them a few years back. I think it has printed maybe 3 things. Nope. doesn't print anymore. Doesn't scan anymore.

Useless space for a landfill.

Don't ever buy HP printers......

No.... no its not.

Other developers appreciate art.

As long as you don't break it, things will be just fine!

But, the second you break it, it's going to be a long night for you, with lots of pain.

All of the same emulators you use on windows, works in linux too.

Although, I have honestly not emulated anything newer then a ps2/wii, so, I cannot speak to the switch.

But, https://dolphin-emu.org/ can do gamecube/wii effortless, and runs native on linux.

Likewise, epsxe runs native on linux too. https://www.epsxe.com/download.php

A few years back, I built a HTPC for streaming games to my Livingroom TV.

This PC has long since been repurposed, into a part of my server rack... but, it did its job wonderfully well. It ran Manjaro.

Now, one cool thing I did, is setup multiple "desktop environments". IE, I could either load into retroarch, or a desktop environment just by selecting it at the boot screen.

Retroarch, would hands down, be my preferred way to emulate on linux, as it consolidates everything into one easy place. however, years back when I did this, I still had to run ps2 separately. But, it did gamecube/wii perfectly.

It's very effective.

Just try not to mess up your xorg.conf.

That typically ends in pain.

Manjaro. Its a "user-friendly" version of arch.

Have also used Kbuntu.

Both worked well.
